UC is aiming to speed up the faculty discipline process amid criticism that cases take too long to complete, including one involving a UC Davis professor accused of threatening Zionists.
A record number of Californians enrolled at UC in the fall while out-of-state and international students declined. Berkeley and UCLA bucked national trends at elite universities with increased Black and Latino enrollment.
The University of California has resolved nine federal civil rights complaints of antisemitism and bias against Muslim, Arab and pro-Palestinian students stemming from protests over the Israel-Hamas war.
UC officials claim the strike was illegal because of a no-strike clause, but the state labor board says that isn’t enough to order a stop to the walkout.
Workers at UCLA and UC Davis are on strike over allegations their rights were violated by UC’s actions against pro-Palestinian protests.
UCLA failed to stem a violent protest melee last spring, as a “highly chaotic” decision-making process, lack of communication between administrators and police and a shortage of campus safety personnel led to institutional paralysis, according to a University of California independent review.
The suspect was allegedly found with an arsenal of weaponry, including assault rifles, handguns and ammunition, according to Berkeley police.
